About this study

Official title: Combined Coaxial Optical Coherence Tomography System to Image the Retina and Choroidal Structures and Estimate Tissue Reflectivity in Healthy and Diseased Retinas

The purpose of this research is the evaluation of a combined coaxial optical coherence tomography (OCT) system to image retina/choroid and to evaluate if post processing of the data can give us insights into property of the tissue imaged.

Read the detailed description

Histology studies have shown that many disorders of the retina and choroid such as age-related macular degeneration is associated with a build up abnormal deposits, in the retina or subretinal space. Being able to detect subtle changes in retina and choroidal structure is crucial for better understanding and monitoring of this potentially blinding condition. This study aims to commercially available Spectralis® OCT-system with a central wavelength of 880nm explore the ability of a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (cSLO) for OCT imaging utilising a modified by the addition of a longer wavelength OCT (1075nm , a wavelength deployed on other commercially available OCT scanners). Other commercially available OCT scanners used longer wavelengths to allow deeper penetration and enhanced visualisation of subretinal tissue but less inner retinal detail. Combing both wavelengths could have the advantage of allowing optimum viualisation of inner and subretinal structures. The ability of the systems to acquire repeatable and good quality images of retinal and choroidal structural detail at matching location and compare the results from the two instruments will be evaluated. In addition processing of the images reflectivity with two different wavelength should give us insight into the nature of any abnormal material.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of AMD and Diabetic Retinopathy, run by Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Test retest reliability (time frame: 14 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Apr 2022.
